Adding a JPEG signature image in welcome email

Hi I noticed Tiger Direct and Dell and other companies add the store owners signature. I would like to do that but cannot get the thing to work right.

I know you have to edit create_account.php. I'm trying to put it under neath "Sincerely"

I have attached a JPEG screen capture. Can anyone help?

Take a few steps back.

Text-only emails do NOT show images, so you don't want to put it into your text-only emails. So editing create_account.php would be pointless.

HTML-formatted emails CAN show images, so you'd be better off putting the raw HTML for your IMG tag into whichever email templates you wish it to appear within. See the /email/ folder for those templates.

And of course, that then requires that your site be enabled to send emails in HTML format for those customers who have opted in to that. Admin->Configuration->Email Options->Send MIME HTML emails -- set to true.

I would be thinking long and hard before implementing this.

Reason?

Imagine someone registers with a dud name, address etc but with a valid email address. He/she gets the welcome email with your jpeg signature. They can then use that image for fraudulent undertakings .... :shocking:

Thanks DrByte. I will look into trying to do that myself before bugging for help.

frank18, that makes sense but really, what can they do with a signature. Have you gone to wikipedia. Some of the famous people on there have their signatures on there.
At the end of Star Trek VI, each actor has their signature at the end of the movie credits.
In seriousness I do not think it's a big deal unless you can show me some "scenarios"

TIA.
